Open Like the Sky

“Peace comes when our hearts are
open like the sky,
vast as the ocean.”
― Jack Kornfield

“We need the courage to learn from our past and not live in it.”― Sharon Salzberg, The Force of Kindness: Change Your Life with Love & Compassion

Overflowing in presence
Living this moment
Leaving the rest in its place
Foregoing, forgiving, yielding
Craft, carve, create this day
Blank canvas, paint beauty, joy, delight
No do overs, no predictions, no overthinking
May this day be more than enough
Grace, goodness, generosity
Open like the sky, deep waters
Cast light.

“In the end
these things matter most:
How well did you love?
How fully did you live?
How deeply did you let go?”― Jack Kornfield, Buddha’s Little Instruction Book
